| First to the finish: Joaquin Rodriguez eases past the line |
Spaniard Joaquin Rodriguez retained the leader's pink jersey in the Giro
d'Italia after winning stage 17 from Falzes to Cortina d'Ampezzo.
The Team Katusha rider led home a six-man breakaway group to record his second
stage win on this year's event and remain 30 seconds ahead of
Garmin-Barracuda's Ryder Hesjedal in the general classification.
The Canadian was third behind Ivan Basso of Liquigas, who lies third in the
standings and trails leader Rodriguez by a minute and 22 seconds.
Team Sky's Rigoberto Uran was fourth in Wednesday's stage and retains the
white jersey as the best young rider. His team-mate, Great Britain Olympian
Mark Cavendish, tops the points standings and will wear the red jersey for
Thursday's 149-kilometre stage from San Vito di Cadore to Vedelago.
Defending champion Michele Scarponi of Lampre and Colnago's Domenico Pozzovivo
completed the leading group over the mountainous 186km.
